Follow these guidelines to position the six supplied speakers (two front speakers, center speaker, two rear speakers and subwoofer). If you want to hear deeper bass, DTS digital surround and/or Dolby Digital surround, consider adding an active subwoofer with built-in amplifier. ote Be sure to match the speaker cables to the appropriate terminals: + to + and – to –. If the cables are reversed, the sound will be distorted and lack bass. If you use front speakers with low maximum input ratings, adjust the volume carefully to avoid excessive volume output to the speakers. Do not disassemble the front covers of the supplied speakers. Center speaker Front speaker (Left) Front speaker (Right) • Front speakers The front speakers should be placed at equal distances from your primary listening position. The speakers should be placed 45 degrees apart relative to the listening position. • Center speaker Ideally the center speaker should be placed at the same height as the front speakers and at the same distance from your primary listening area. • Rear speakers Place the rear surround speakers to the left and right behind the primary listening area. For best results, do not position the rear speakers too far behind the listening position. Place them at or above ear level. It is also effective to direct the rear speakers towards a wall or ceiling to further disperse the sound. If the listening area is in a small room against a rear wall, set the rear speakers opposite each other 2-3 feet above the listener’s ears. • Subwoofer This can be placed in any front position.

DTS Digital Surround delivers up to 6 channels of transparent audio (i.e., identical to the original masters) and results in exceptional clarity throughout a true 360 degree sound field. The term DTS is a trademark of DTS Technology, LLC. Manufactured under license from DTS Technology, LLC. The Dolby Digital surround format lets you enjoy up to 5.1 channels of digital surround sound from Dolby Digital program sources. If you play DVDs with the “ ” mark, you can enjoy even better sound quality, greater spatial accuracy, and improved dynamic range. When playing recordings of live or classical music, this mode provides a feeling similar to actually being in a small concert hall. When playing recordings of live or classical music, this mode provides a feeling similar to actually being in a large concert hall. This mode provides a three dimensional effect similar to that of a movie theater. II Dolby Pro Logic II creates five full-bandwidth output channels from two-channel sources. This is done using an advanced, high-purity matrix surround decoder that extracts the spatial properties of the original recording without adding any new sounds or tonal colorations. Pro Logic II offers the following five modes: PROLOGIC Emulation mode: The Pro Logic Emulation mode offers users the same robust surround processing as original Pro Logic, in case the source content is not of optimum quality, or if there is a desire to hear the program more “as it used to be.” When this mode is used, it is called Pro Logic, as before. There is no “Pro Logic I” mode. The Pro Logic emulation mode is optional. MOVIE mode: The Movie mode is for use with stereo television shows and all programs encoded in Dolby Surround. The result is enhanced sound field directionality that approaches the quality of discrete 5.1-channel sound. MUSIC mode: The Music mode is for use with any stereo music recordings, and provides a wide and deep sound space. The Music mode includes controls that allow the sound to be tailored to individual listening tastes. VIRTUAL mode: The Virtual mode is usually used when Pro Logic II is connected to a virtual process for speaker use. However, there might be some virtualizers for which this mode does not produce the intended result. For those virtualizers, Movie mode may give the best surround effect. Virtual mode is designed to be used with the virtual process developed by Dolby Laboratories. The Pro Logic II mode should be called only “Pro Logic II” so the Virtual name can be reserved to describe the speaker virtualization process itself. MATRIX mode: The Matrix mode is the same as the Music mode except that the directional enhancement logic is turned off. It may be used to enhance mono signals by making them seem “larger.” The Matrix mode may also find use in auto systems, where the fluctuations from poor FM stereo reception can otherwise cause disturbing surround signals from a logic decoder. The ultimate “cure” for poor FM stereo reception may be simply to force the audio to mono. SURROUND OFF (2CH STEREO) Outputs the sound from the front left and right speakers and subwoofer. Standard two channel (stereo) sources completely bypass the sound field processing. This allows you to play any source using only the front left and right speakers and subwoofer. You can select SURROUND OFF by pressing BY PASS on the remote control. 16 Amplifier Setup (Continued) Sound Mode ote Each time you press the SOUND EFFECT button, the sound mode is changed in the following order: PROLOGIC → HALL 1 → HALL 2 → THEATER When you play sound tracks with a 96kHz sampling frequency, the output signals will be converted to 48kHz. Sound Level You can set the sound level for each channel independently. 1 Press LEVEL. 2 Press b/BB to select the desired speaker. The level indicator appears on the front panel display. ote Press the b/B buttons to select each speaker in the following order: For DVDs, you can only select sound modes when the PCM indicator is shown on the front panel display. FL (Front Left) → C (Center) → FR (Front Right) → SR (Surround Right) → SL (Surround Left) → SW (Subwoofer) → FL (Front Left) • In 2-channel stereo mode, you can only select the SW (Subwoofer). Each time you press the button, the Pro Logic II sound mode is changed in the following order: PROLOGIC → MOVIE → MUSIC → VIRTUAL → MATRIX Tip You can quickly select SURROUND OFF (2CH STEREO) mode by pressing the BY PASS button. When DVD is inserted: You can change the sound mode of a DVD (Dolby Digital, DTS, PRO LOGIC, etc) by pressing the AUDIO button on the remote during playback.

Each time you press the AUDIO button, the sound mode of DVD is changed in the following order: → → and When a DVD is inserted and the PROLOGIC II indicator lights: Each time you press the button, the Pro Logic II sound mode is changed in the following order: PROLOGIC → MOVIE → MUSIC → VIRTUAL → MATRIX Tip v/V V to adjust the sound level of the 3 Press selected channel (-6dB - +6dB). steps 2-3 and adjust the sound level for 4 Repeat the other channels. 5 When settings are complete, press LEVEL. Test Tone This function allows you to adjust the sound balance of the speakers relative to the listening position. 1 Select test tone mode by pressing the TEST TONE button. • A hissing noise is output for 2 seconds from each speaker in the following order: FL (Front Left) → C (Center) → FR (Front Right) → SR (Surround Right) → SL (Surround Left) → SW (Subwoofer) → FL (Front Left) V buttons to LEVEL then press the v/V 2 Press adjust sound levels for each speaker. • The sound levels should be balanced while seated in the primary listening position. • If you adjust sound levels during test tone mode, the test tone will be paused in the active speaker channel. 3 When setting is complete, press TEST TONE. You can set PRO LOGIC II mode to Off (2CH STEREO) by pressing the BY PASS button (the PROLOGIC II indicator disappears). For your reference: • The DVD+VCR memorizes the last mode settings for each source individually. • The encoding format of discs is usually printed on the packaging. - Dolby Digital discs are labeled with the logo. - Dolby Surround encoded programs are labeled with the logo. - DTS Digital Surround discs are marked with DTS. 17 SYSTEM SETUP You can enjoy surround sound simply by selecting one of the pre-programmed sound fields according to the program you want to listen to. Amplifier Setup (Continued) Setting Delays In Dolby Digital and Dolby Pro Logic mode, it is assumed that the distance from the listener to each of the five speakers is equal. If your center and rear speakers are closer than the front speakers, you can set delays so that sound from these speakers will be heard simultaneously at your primary listening position. If the rear delay time is set in Dolby Digital mode, the delay time will be automatically set in Dolby Pro Logic mode . The delay time is approximately 1 msec per foot. If the center and rear speakers are further than the front speakers from the listener, the delay time should be set to the minimum. Surround delay time setting If the distance from your rear speakers to the listener is the same or greater than your front speakers, set the Surround Delay Time to 0ms. Otherwise, change the setting according to the calculation below. R C Setting the delay time in the Dolby Digital and Dolby Pro Logic II mode 1 In Dolby Digital mode Center delay time : 0ms Rear delay time: 5ms In Dolby Pro Logic mode Center delay time : cannot be set Rear delay time : 0-15ms L For example, if the distance from the front speakers to the listener is 10 feet and from the center speaker to the listener is 8 feet, the center delay time is 2msec. 10 feet - 8 feet = 2 feet, or 2msec Press DELAY. The current surround delay time appears on the front panel display. You can select center delay time by pressing b/B in the Dolby Digital mode only. 2 Press v/VV to change the delay time. 3 If setting is complete, press DELAY. otes You can adjust the center delay time only in the Dolby Digital mode when its delay time appears. Center Width (MUSIC mode of Dolby Pro Logic II only) This control allows center-channel sounds to be positioned between the center speaker and the left/right speakers over a range of eight steps. Step “3” uses a combination of all three front speakers to give the best vocal imaging and most seamless soundstage presentation, and is recommended for most recordings. Step “0” places all center sound in the center speaker. Step “7” places all center sound equally in the left/right speakers, just as in conventional stereo. SW DIMENSE SL SR For example, if the distance from the front speakers to the listener is 10 feet and from the rear speakers to the listener is 5 feet, the rear delay time would be 5 msec. 10 feet - 5 feet = 5 feet, or 5msec In Dolby Pro Logic II (Surround delay time): PROLOGIC: 10 - 25msec MOVIE: 10 - 25msec MUSIC: 0 - 15msec VIRTUAL: cannot be set MATRIX: 0 - 15msec Center delay time setting (Dolby Digital mode only) If the distance from your center speaker to the listener is the same or greater than your front speakers, set the Center Delay Time to 0ms. Otherwise, change the setting according to the calculation below. 18 (MUSIC mode of Dolby Pro Logic II only) This control allows the user to gradually adjust the sound field either towards the front or the rear. This can be useful to help achieve the desired balance from all the speakers with certain recordings that may contain either too much or too little spatial effect. Step “0” is the recommended setting, which has no effect on the sound. Steps 1, 2, and 3 gradually move the sound forward, and steps -1, -2, and -3 move the sound towards the surrounds. PANORAMA (MUSIC mode of Dolby Pro Logic II only) This control extends the front stereo image to include the surround speakers for an exciting “wraparound” effect with side-wall imaging. It is particularly effective for recordings which have strong left- or right-channel elements in the mix, as these are detected and accentuated by the Panorama process.

After the screen saver has been active for about five minutes, the DVD+VCR will power off automatically. About MP3 Video Mode Setting MP3 files are audio data files compressed using MPEG1, the standard audio layer-3 file encoding scheme that compresses audio files up to 1/12 of their original size. Files with the “.mp3” file extension are referred to as “MP3 files”. The player can only read MP3 files with the “.mp3” file extension. However, it cannot read fake MP3 files that have the “.mp3” file extension. DVD With certain discs, the picture may flicker or you may see “dot crawl” along straight lines. This usually means that the unit’s vertical interpolation and/or deinterlace are not perfectly matched with the disc. If so, you may be able to improve picture quality by changing the video mode. To change the video mode, press and hold DISPLAY for about 3 seconds during disc playback. The new video mode number is displayed on the TV screen. Check whether the video quality has improved. If not, repeat the above procedure until picture quality is improved. Video mode change sequence: MODE1 → MODE2 → MODE3 → MODE4 → MODE5 → MODE1 If you turn off the power, the video mode will revert to its initial state (MODE1). MP3 disc compatibility with this player is limited as follows: 1. 2. 3. 4. Sampling Frequency: 44.1kHz only Bit rate: from 32 - 320kbps CD-R physical format: “ISO 9660” If you record MP3 files using encoding software that cannot create a file system (for example “DirectCD”), the disc cannot be played. “Easy-CD Creator” is recommended, as it creates an ISO9660 file system. 5. A single session disc requires MP3 files in the first track. If there are no MP3 files in the first track, the disc cannot be played. If you wish to playback MP3 files, format all the data in the disc or use a new one. 6. CD-RW discs are not recommended. Please use finished CD-R discs only. 7. File names must be 8 letters or less and must incorporate the “.mp3” extension; e.g., “song.mp3”. 8. Do not use special characters, such as “_?!><+*}{`[@ ]:;\/.,” etc. 9. The total number of files on the disc should be less than 200. 10. Use 74-minute CD-R discs (650M). Do not use 80minute CD-R discs (700M). This DVD+VCR requires discs/recordings to meet certain technical standards in order to achieve optimal playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are automatically set to these standards. There are many different types of recordable disc formats (including CD-R containing MP3 files). Customers should also note that permission is required in order to download MP3 files and music from the Internet. Our company has no right to grant such permission. Permission should always be sought from the copyright owner. 36 Presetting Radio Stations Listening to the Radio You can preset up to 30 FM and AM stations.
